Yes this is the wonderful 70’s era Revell Arado 234 kit. And yes I may well build it. But why you ask…… I was at the Wollongong model show in early March and snapped this up for the huge sum of 10 Australian dollars, now worth a piddly 7 dollars US compared to last years high of around 10.50 USD, gotta love exchange rate movements. I bought and built this kit in the late 70’s , yeah I’m that old. I recall it was a pig with much filler  and fettling needed. In those days my latest technique was sprue mixed with glue as a filler, extra smelly that combo. So i have resolved to build it just as badly as the box cover art depicts. It’s riddled with inaccuracies but I am resolved to build this as OOB as possible with the exception of the filler and maybe decals. It should at least be quick but not pretty.
